There is no question about it-blood
will tell-especislly if it be an impure
blood. Blotches, eruptions, pimples and
boils, are all symptoms of an impure
blood, due to the improper action of the
liver. When this important organ fails
to properly perform its functions of puri
flying and cleansing the blood, impurities
are carried to all parts of the system, and
the symptoms above referred to are mere
ly evidences of the struggle of nature to
throw off the poisonous germs. Unless
her warning be needed in time, serious
results are certain to follow, eliminating
in liver and kidney disorders. or even in
consumption. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi

WATER ANALYSIS.
Interesting Report of Organic Puri-

Interesting Report of Organic Puri-
ty of Four samples by Frank Mad
Ter. PHI. d.
at Monday nights meeting of the city
council, Mayor Banding read the follow
Ing report as TO the organic purity of
certain samples of water which he had
submitted to MIR. Frank Nader, Phi G.
for chemical analysis:
Rock ISLAND, ILL.,. Sept. 5. 1887.
Hon. V. NJ. Blanding. Mayor:
SIR:-Upon your request | herewith
report results of analysis Gas to organic
purity of four samples of water secured
on 30th ult, from following sources:
No. /, from Mississippi river channel
at mouth of inlet pipe to Rock Island
water works, tgrsins of organic matter in
l. S. GALLON. 1.95.
No 2, from well or reservoir in water
works building. 80.
No. 3. from hydrant at Fourth avenue
and Twenty-third street, 1.50.
No. 4, from Sylvan slough at the foot
of Twentysf0urth street, 25.
While all four samples of the water
contain distinct quantities of albuminOId
ammonia, No yields by far the largest
proportion of free ammonia, which indi>
Gates the organic matter to be of animal
as distinguished from vegetable origin.
The apparent loss of organic matter in
Nos. 2 and is probably due to decom
position effected by the oxIdizlng pow er
of iron, with which it comes in contact in
its passage through long distance of iron
pipe. Think it is worthy to note here,
that in 1886 No. contained only 81
grains of organic matter in one U. S.
gallon. From most reliable statistics
then at hand, estimated Mississippi
river water at this point to be third pur>
est river water in the United States.
Since the conservation of our water SUD
ply is OF the utmost Importance to this
community, this decided increase of dam
gerous impurities, if not, cause of
alarm ought to direct the attention and
best efforts of those who have the public
health in charge to this question of wat
er supply and disposal of sewage.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK NADLER.

The Reduction in the Ticket Rate %
Kansas City and the Southwest
Reason Of the Fight.
The passenger rate war which opened
10 Chicago the first of the week has adj
vanced to Rock Island Local agents OF
the c., R. I.& Psnd C.. B. & Q. have re-
ceived instructions to cut the price of tick
cts to Sc to Kansas City. Atehison, Leav>
enworth and st. Joe and all intermediate
points where the regular rate is more
than So. The cause of the railroad fight
which has brought about this rate war
which is likely to assume gigantic pro
portions, was cut by the Wabash With
out notice. Then the c., R. l. & P.
c., B & @ and C. d A. followed suit
and went the Wabash fifty cents better.
1t is believed that unless an agree
ment is brought about soon, the cuts
will involve Omaha and Denver and oth~
er important points west of the Missouri
river.
1t is stated that the causes leading to
the incipient war lie in the harvest rates
recently authorized by the western pas
senger association The demoralizing
effects OF excursion and reduced rates
have been so often pointed out that they
have become an old story, but the lines,
proceeding on the theory that they are
productive OF considerable revenue, con-
tinue making them and inviting the con
sequences. To avoid any trouble, the
passenger agents agreed upon 8 form
for issuing harvest tickets, iron clad
and so protected that it was
believed that the issue could be kept out
Of scalpers' hands. Unfortunately the
Chicago & Alton, as it claims, by miss
take of clerk, used the old form in
force last year. and sent out its tickets in
that shape. The Wabash insists that the
error was inexcussble. and that it was
and is no Justf1catlon to make mistakes
for matter which, after the agreement
entered into by the Alton as well as al
other lines, should not have been left tC

clerk, but should have been carefully
scrutiDized and have passed through thu
hands of the heads of the department.
is claimed that these Alton tickets hdv'
already found their way into the broker
offices with the inevitable outcome o
cutting the regular rate, and the irregu
larity promised to continue for an indcfi
mite time. At any rate the Wabash Off

Railroad Plans OF consolidation
Ventilated by New York Papers.
The operations Of the eastern gentry
who came to this locality with talk of
buying the street railroads in the three
cities, consolidating the corporations and
operating the lines under one manage
ment, are being ventilated by the New
York papers in way that will interest
many people in this locality. New York
city is the recognized headquarters in
this country of every description of
schemIng for the acquisition of wealth
without labor. A prominent attorney
told the New York Tribune of the 4th
inst. that among the novel projects for
masking money which l have come
across recently, is that of specializing in
the franchises of interior towns and cities
for public improvements. Thus two or
three men in New York will make a
raid on some town to obtain street
car franchise, representing themselves
backed by immense capital, which is
only waiting an opportunity of invest
ment of street car lines. On securing 8
franchise from the town by such repre-
sensations they will come back to New
York and peddle it out for $500 or 81, 900
or whatever they can get for it. The re-
suit usually is that the town gets street
car line with 30>pound I rail built
on cross ties, and cheap cars which look
very well when freshly painted. The
whole thing is sold out In hurry. and
some one gets left, while the town itself
has miserable street car line on its
hands The same process is being carried
on in reference to waterworks gas works,
| electric lighting systems and similar pub
lie Improvements. There are scores of
men in New York who make living in
Just such shabby enterprises. There is
no way to head them off except for the
authorities in the towns and villages OF
the country to make closer investigation
as to the character of people asking fol
franchises
